12 degrees this morning! can't wait to get our new wood stove installed!
Let the games begin....
I was compelled to answer - the only better form of heat than a wood stove is the OWB
Yep, you'd best that thing up and running.
IMO, there isn't a better form of heat.
Yeah........... unfortunately, my state and many others have virtually banned them with all the regulatory BS (absurd stack heights, setbacks,etc.). Enjoy yours while you still can.
And I'll enjoy my woodstove while its still legal. No doubt wood burning will be banned altogether....... since big gummit can't figure out a way to tax the crap out of it.

I hate you! It's minus 5 here now and getting warmer. Where there's warm there is snow.Ha! 12F has been our high temp today! It was -21F this morning.

No worries on the polar shot....its all here in the upper Midwest and EastOh, and we are having a heat wave here in the west. Spring has sprung earlier than any other year I can recall in Oregon. My plums are flowering and the bees are going nuts harvesting nectar. It was 56 today. 44 was the low last night. I can only hope we do not get a polar shot and everything freezes, like it should be doing here now.
I know of an OWB just up the road from me at a new construction home. I saw it on a walk and had to go back and take a second look to make sure I was seeing correctly. That's up here in NW WA.Yep. In Oregon, all wood boilers are outright banned now. Well, until someone comes up with one that passes the new EPA requirements, which is the same as WA state requirements, which have not had anyone yet meet them. Well wait, Greenwood has an IWB that passes WA requirements, so there is one IWB in WA/OR that you can buy. No OWBs pass, so none allowed here. Sorry, brought to you by gov't regs and a-holes that burn diapers, used motor oil and RR ties in OWBs, and the NY and New England anti-OWB sensationalist lobby groups.
All wood burning appliances are next. Even these new WA approved-EPA III stoves/boilers are only approved for sale for the next 5 years. Then requirements are for half the current new standard in particulate matter. Pellet stoves, anyone?
Stamper, we'll send you down a vortex just for good measure.

It ain't legal.... hope their neighbors like them real well. Anyone could turn them in to the state.
From the WA state Dept. of Ecology web site:
Are any outdoor wood-fired hydronic heaters legal in Washington?
Not at this time.
I would guess that they are going to get burned when they get the final. It s a state-wide ban. Or... its an outdoor pellet boiler. CB makes one that is WA approved now. There are also two other indoor pellet boilers approver in WA state, and the one approved IWB wood burner from Greenwood. These are all retro-EPA-III certified.
sounds like a wa retired gov hack..............Yep. In Oregon, all wood boilers are outright banned now.
